memcache – KutuKupret

I was rewrote Omar Kilani’s memcache patch couple of weeks ago. But that was not tested due to lack of time and unavailability of servers that can be used.

Now, i got chance to implement simple test. This is my configuration:
main.cf

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
   ...
   ...
   check_recipient_access memcache:/etc/postfix/memcache.cf,
   ...
   ...

memcache.cf

servers = localhost:11211
key_format = %s

Entry on memcache

spam@example.com	REJECT	not allowed

Query using postmap

$ postmap -q "spam@example.com" memcache:/etc/postfix/memcache.cf
postmap: dict_memcache_lookup: using key_format '%s'
postmap: plmemcache_get: fetching key spam@example.com from memcache
postmap: plmemcache_get: key spam@example.com => REJECT not allowed
postmap: dict_memcache_lookup: spam@example.com returned REJECT not allowed
REJECT not allowed

A little bit too verbose i guess, but it can be adjusted by modifying source code.

In my last article about the DNSBL and memcached, I wrote how to use memcached to store the data for the DNSBL. It led me to other new ideas to make the Geo Location DNSBL. In previous article I put data into memcached with the following format:

_prefix_ip 127.0.0.2-10
_prefix_ = _a_ or _txt_
ip = ip address to blacklist

Example:

_a_192.168.1.1	127.0.0.3
_txt_192.168.1.1	Blacklisted

Each ip address has a pair of _a_ and _txt_ record.
For This experiment records will be store in following format:

_prefix_country_code 127.0.0.2-10
_prefix_ = _a_ or _txt_
country_code = country code to blacklist

Example:

_a_ID	127.0.0.3
_txt_ID	Blacklisted
